Explorer Tom Enclosure in Parkatotaun had a prophecy that it would float, which has never once happened to my knowledge. It's just a faint line in the sky from above. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BoherloadFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 242 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Boherload has a hidden message written in its stones, if you squint really hard. It might say 'Buy Me A Beer' or something equally profound. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Explorer Tom Boherload House hums 'You Are My Sunshine' because its walled avenue needs cheering up. It’s a big farmhouse pretending to be something more mysterious and grand. Hum something sad nearby, it actually listens quite intently.

Enclosure in BoherloadEnclosure · 602 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Boherload gave up sugar for Lent, which explains why it’s barely visible on the ground now. It’s a recorded monument, meaning experts agree it’s mostly a suggestion. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Boherload is the aunt at a wedding who knows everyone but remembers no one's name. It sits at the ridge base looking slightly confused. Count the crows, then count again.

Explorer Tom Rockstown Castle is perched high like a proud peacock on its limestone rock. A cow once tried to buy it, but the price was too steep. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
